Why no FT's at the end?

I am confused why Babb wasnt able to shoot FT's at the end of the game. My roommate and I were talking and when somebody fouls someobdy else on an inbounds play, they get to shoot if they are in the bonus. But Babb didnt because he didnt have possession? Still confused about this. If anybody can explain, I would greatly appreciate it.

Oh well, on to Baylor. Im expecting a crazy atmosphere and a great game.

Re: Why no FT's at the end?

Per some Iowa Boys Basketball officials at the bar I was at, the Babb foul with no shots was due to ISU not having "team control of the ball". As in, Oklahoma State was inbounding, Babb steps in to steal but never actual had the ball in his control when fouled.

Re: Why no FT's at the end?

My question is:

If we didn't have control of the ball (and the foul happened before Babb even touched the ball), why didn't we get to take it out in front of our bench? The ball never got into play, so shouldn't the change of possession take place at the point where they inbounded the ball rather than where the foul occurred?
